Chapter 442 441 War Mobilization Marches into the Swamp for 'Jade Xiaohe'
Chapter 442 441. War Mobilization·Advance into the Swamp - Additional update for the "Yu Xiaohe" brothers【825】
The ticking sound sounded in the corridor outside Murphy's office. Such a rhythm meant that someone was approaching. When the sound sounded, Murphy, who was holding a worn-out book and checking it, moved his ears.
He had never heard of such a strange crisp collision between shoes and the ground before.
To be precise, I haven't heard such a distinctive sound since I entered Transia. I used to hear it all the time when I was a social animal.
As the footsteps outside the door got closer and closer, Murphy's expression became more and more strange.
He put a bookmark in the ancient classic that Tris had specially found for him, about the speculations and discussions of various schools in mainland China on the "Pre-Era" era, then closed it and put it in a drawer, and then laid out his most standard
He looked towards the door with a gentle gesture.
Two seconds later, there was a knock on the door. After waiting for a moment, she pushed the door open. Mrs. Adele, holding a stack of documents, appeared in front of Murphy. She had a serious expression and was obviously here to report on the latest news about "Swamp Investigation".
intelligence.
But Murphy's focus this time was on Adele's feet.
To be precise, the "shoes" on those jade-white feet were exactly what he had just recognized, a pair of classic-style women's hollow high heels.
This is not a traditional style in Transia. If anything, Murphy guessed that this should be a new product launched by the "Silver Moon Design" store that just opened the day before yesterday.
It might even be a decoration specially customized by Mrs. Water for Adele.
It has to be said that such a pair of exquisite crystal high-heeled shoes paired with Adele's already slender legs makes her even more amazing. The unique posture when walking in high-heeled shoes adds an extra layer of inexplicable aura to her.
temperament.
With the "reminder" from Tris last time, Murphy paid close attention to his intelligence officer's clothes when he met Adele this time. He must admit that Tris's observation skills are quite keen.
For example, Adele's neckline is indeed a bit too low at this time.
These two discoveries made Murphy feel a little painful.
This means that Adele is slowly slipping in a direction that he does not want to see, but he does not express much on the surface and still maintains a gentle expression. However, as a vampire intelligence officer, Mrs. Adele
The perception is also very keen.
She noticed the change in Murphy's eyes in just a few seconds. It seemed that she changed her posture without much thought, so that her "excessive" figure was more clearly displayed in front of Murphy's eyes.
, it is more convenient for him to appreciate such a beauty from midnight and shadows.
But Murphy's eyes were a little wavering.
This brought a fleeting smile to Mrs. Adele's lips. Then in order to avoid this slightly embarrassing scene from continuing, she coughed and said in a businesslike tone:
"News has come back from the investigation of the Filthy Swamp. Master, our scouts were pursued by the Plague Clan when they were evacuating. Your warrior Niu Niu lost his life as a result, but this is not a big problem.
During his heroic battle, Miss Amber, who was also attacked, survived and brought back first-hand news."
"Ha, my warriors are always full of this kind of prodigal. It seems that one little guy has been immersed in the fearlessness brought by love, and even started to use his immortality to capture the affection of a poor woman.
How cunning.”
Murphy commented very caustly:
"I guess Miss Amber can no longer escape the control of the evil Niu Niu. If that sports student is a bad guy, my poor Miss Amber's life will be ruined.
But okay, this is people’s feelings. We can’t comment so shamelessly and we can’t treat this as a joke behind our backs. So tell us about your findings, Adele, and analyze the current situation of the swamp.
We extremely need intelligence support for our next action planning."
"Um."
Adele opened the folder in her hand and reported:
"After the conflict in Marlow Town, the outposts near Plague Town experienced a visible strategic contraction. The gnoll warlocks seemed to be aware of the threat, and they began to concentrate their elite forces.
But at the same time, they spread those fringe forces to all parts of the swamp.
In the past three days, our scouts have confirmed that the number of undead wandering in the filthy swamp has reached five times the previous level, making the swamp war zone almost full of wandering bones and zombies, but the quality has seriously declined compared to before.
.
Those newly awakened swamp souls formed obstacles in the mud that slowed down our advance, but considering their quality, as long as the warriors launch an attack, everything will be fine.
But I guess the gnoll warlocks don't think that such a proliferation of skeletons can stop our progress. They are just delaying the actual battle with us as long as possible.
This is worth digging into.
On the other hand, according to information received from the Bloodclaw clan, Hogg has confirmed that the leader of the gnoll warlock Tear Flesh is determined to explore the forbidden land deep in the swamp.
Therefore, we can draw an accurate conclusion from the cross-information between the two sides, that is, the Jackals are likely to start their final exploration of the Bone-Gripping King's secret cache in the next few days.
Moreover, they do not seem to intend to engage in formal combat with the Transian vanguard.
Extending from this conclusion, if their expedition goes well and they really get the legendary secret treasure, they may withdraw from the swamp and return to the Dark Mountains as quickly as possible.
Therefore, it can be said that the Plague Clan's attitude towards our provocation has always been negative.
The gnoll warlocks do not regard us as enemies that must be eradicated, which is very different from the previous warlord Ken Porter."
At this point, Mrs. Adele glanced at Master Murphy's thoughtful posture. She paused and said softly:
"The Shadow Intelligence Bureau currently has two action plans for your reference."
"Say it."
Murphy raised his head and looked at Adele, wanting to listen to her professional opinion, but the white flowers that could not be ignored made his eyes slip involuntarily.
It felt like playing a "no breasts challenge" and Murphy, like the other men, failed miserably from the start.
Blanch!
Who taught Adele this "cunning strategy"?
Which man can withstand this?
"From the perspective of avoiding losses, we believe that perhaps ignoring the actions of the Plague Clan and allowing them to operate in the swamp is the best solution to our current situation.
When they find something, they leave.
If they can't find anything, they can only waste time in the swamp. The forbidden area guarded by Ninkinanka is not so easy to break through. According to the most optimistic analysis of the Intelligence Bureau, the Pestilence Clan will have a very serious conflict with the legendary beast clan.
battle.
No matter which side loses, it will not hurt Transia."
Adele gave her first piece of advice, saying:
"Such an action pattern will not interrupt the ongoing defense construction of the Dark Barony, nor will it affect the good momentum of rapid recovery and development brought to our territory by the current '100 Days of Construction' operation.
The problem with this action mode is that if we choose this option, it means that your previously mentioned plan to turn the Filthy Swamp into the "new frontier" of Transia before the Black Disaster occurs may need to be shelved.
And its biggest advantage is that we don’t need to pay more costs for it, both in terms of manpower and materials.”
"But you have already performed your duties in the 'Forum Tavern'. You should know that my warriors' heated discussion about the plot of the Filthy Swamp represents their expectations for the next plot. It is not their choice to sit back and watch the enemy slip away. Farewell
Enemies who leave will be denounced as cowards and capitulators.
Believe me, this accusation is already very serious in their hearts, and will even directly shake the legitimacy and majesty of the Transian regime in their hearts."
Murphy shook his head and said without even thinking more:
"They undoubtedly want to see new enemies and new challenges. They want to see a distinctive 'new map' revealed and presented. My warriors have not played for a long time since Ken Porter's inauguration.
The fierce battle was too intense. If they were a peerless sword, it should be unsheathed again.
As for me personally, allowing the enemy to act so arrogantly in our territory is also a terrible blow to my fragile self-esteem as a local lord.
I can't blindfold myself and tell myself that there are no risks around me, just like from the reconstruction of Transia to the present, we have never chosen to be ostriches...
Do you understand what I mean? Adele."
"Well, my master has never been a strong man who is afraid of challenges. I firmly believe in this and am proud of it."
Baroness Shadow came up with a second plan. She glanced at Murphy and said:
"Then we have no choice but to choose the second option.
This plan is quite radical. Since the Pestilence Clan is undergoing strategic contraction, we should start to respond to this change from now on.
We should fully mobilize your warriors! Let them enter the filthy swamp from the safe road explored by the Blood Claw Clan as a vanguard who is not afraid of death, and start to quickly clean up the inferior skeleton army scattered everywhere by the Plague Claw Clan.
If the warriors advance fast enough, we can launch a ferocious attack on Plague Town before the Plague Clan's treasure hunt comes to fruition.
Just like the raid we carried out on Ken Porter's camp!
Under extreme conditions, it only takes one precise beheading to defeat the Plague Clan and strangle them in their swamp territory.
The beauty of this plan is that currently, due to the actions of the Plague Clan in the Filthy Swamp, there are no traces of other dangerous beasts or swamp dwellers in the swamp area near Transia.
This means that as long as we defeat the Plague Clan, we can take over at least one-third of the Filthy Swamp as our new territory in a short period of time.
That will be a very amazing development. This victory will be enough to make your rule deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and gain you a good enough reputation in the external area, which will help stabilize our rule and even help the diplomatic situation.
Moreover, Chief Hogg of the Bloodclaw Clan is very enthusiastic about this plan, so if we decide to launch a thunder offensive against the Plague Clan, Hogg will use the bottom of the box to support our warriors.
We don’t even need to prepare too much reward for the player warriors in this operation, I believe Hogg will be happy to give this expensive reward on our behalf.”
Adele paused again. She noticed Murphy staring at her, so she calmly straightened her chest and said:
"However, this plan also has a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, there is still a big gap between the current strength of your warriors and the Plague Clan. Not to mention the warlocks who challenge the Plague Clan head-on, even their elite
The skeleton army will also become a dangerous and powerful enemy for your warriors to face.
According to the casualty ratio when we fought in Kenport's camp, there is a very high possibility that they will suffer a tragic annihilation.
Although I don't know much about the gnoll forces in the Dark Mountains, I guess that even in the harsh environment of the Dark Mountains, the Plague Clan is definitely not a leftover from the fringe clans.
That they can be given the responsibility of searching for the Bone-Gnawer King's secret treasure shows that their combat effectiveness has been recognized by the top management of the Jackals."
"Danger? It's just a vivid embellishment on the spoils in the eyes of the warriors chasing victory."
Murphy declined to comment on the dangers Adele said.
He stood up and took the latest updated topographic map of the swamp near Plague Town from Adele.
On it, the nightwalkers and witch hunters of the Thorn Clan marked the Skeleton Army's defense lines and the best way forward, and Plague Town is located in the center of this hand-drawn map.
These jackals are indeed quite capable. With the defense in front of them, no matter which direction they approach, attackers must contend with at least three skeleton armies and defeat them before they can enter the vicinity of Plague Town.
It's like a dragnet.
"so perfect."
Murphy looked at the map in front of him. Under Adele's surprised gaze, he showed a subtle smile and whispered:
"From the perspective of team copy design, this plan is so perfect that we don't even need to add more decorations and embellishments to it. The combat mode from weak to strong can make them realize that they are approaching the danger zone.
And the gimmick of the Secret Treasure of the Bone-Gripping King is also heavyweight enough!
I made a decision!
This ‘new map’ is going to be launched soon! Unfortunately, it’s not big enough to deserve an ‘additional expansion pack’, so we can only treat it as an event.”
Murphy rolled up the map in his hand and said to Adele:
"You have to select some clever investigators to enter the swamp again, but this time they don't need to perform reconnaissance operations, I need them to be 'guides'!
They have to assume the responsibility of guiding my warriors forward and releasing task chains in different areas. I need to design a complete set of task chains for this new team copy to guide my warriors to the final battle battlefield of Plague Town.
.
However, the design of this task chain is not my responsibility."
Murphy glanced at Adele and said:
"You have been with me from the beginning, Adele. Although you are very low-key and unwilling to show up, you have watched the interaction between me and my warriors. I believe you are wise enough to learn some essence from it.
,Therefore, I want to hand over this task to you and Femis.
The eldest lady was very dissatisfied with my plan when we attacked Kenport Camp last time. I promised to give her a chance to design such a plan, and now is the time.
So, you two, come on, you must submit a complete guidance and combat plan to me before the new map goes online."
"This is a big problem, Master."
Adele frowned and said:
"We can learn from you and gradually replace your responsibility of interacting with the warriors, but I think this will take time. Such a large project is left to us two 'newcomers'.
Can you really rest assured?"
"certainly."
Murphy blinked and said:
"I trust your wisdom, and I will be there to guide you. As new members of the 'development team', this is a work skill you must learn.
I originally wanted Maxim to participate in it, but I later discovered that Maxim was already overwhelmed by military matters, and his straight thinking was not suitable for participating in this work that required delicate design."
"Since you said so, Miss Femis and I will complete the first draft as soon as possible."
Adele nodded.
She knows it's hard.
But the thought of rejection never entered her mind from beginning to end, perhaps because this was a request from Murphy, and a servant could not resist any request from the master.
Watching Adele turn around and leave with her new mission, Murphy stared at her swaying waist and swaying figure as she disappeared into the darkness with the crisp sound of high heels. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Adele's walking movements
It's not as capable as before, instead it's a posture that's neither hasty nor slow and can perfectly show off the advantages of the body.
"Who the hell taught her that?"
Murphy rubbed his chin in the office and couldn't help but complain:
"Don't let me catch you! Otherwise, you are so beautiful. Tris is already troublesome enough. Add Adele to the mix and I think I will really go crazy..."
He curled his lips and looked back at the map on the wall. He picked up a pen and drew a red circle on the map. Then he took a step back and looked at the map on the wall with his hands on his hips.
After a few seconds, he picked up the core orb and said:
"So, my dear little players, team copy No. 003 'Land of the Carrion' will be launched soon!"
